Letters Patent No. 65,948, dated June 18, 1867.

MACHINE FOR COATING PAPER WITH MUGILAGE, (be.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, HENRY E. RILE, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and.

improved Machine for Coating Paper, &c., and that the followingdescription, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,hereinafter referred to, forms a full and exact specification of thesame, wherein I have set forth the nature and principles of my saidimprovements, by which my invention may be distinguished from all othersof a, similar class, together with such parts as I claim, and desire tohave secured to me by Letters Patent.

The present invention relates to a machine more particularly intendedfor the coating of paper with mucilage or gum, or other adhesivematerial which will admit of being dissolved with water, although themachine can be adapted to the coating of other surfaces, and also usedwith other liquids, and the machine cmbraced herein is more especiallydesigned to be used ii -the preparation of paper sheets for themanufacture of the wellknown adhesive letter and invoice file, socalled.

My improved machine consists of a frame arranged to slide in avcrticalplane when operated through a treadle suitably connectedtherewith, a reservoir for the mucilage or other liquid, and ahorizontal sliding platform or table, the said vertical sliding framecarrying a series of'brushes suitable for applying the gum or mucilageto the paper, and the whole machine being constructed and combined inits several parts so 'asto; operate in a manner as will be nowdescribed, reference being had-to the accompanying plate of drawings, inwhich Figure I is a central longitudinal vertical section of themachine; and

Figure 2, a transverse vcrtical'section taken in the plane of the linea- 1-, fig. 1.

A, in the drawings, represents the framework of the machine, which, inits construction, is to be suitable to receive the various working andother parts to the same. B, a frame secured in a vertical positionwithin the framework A; and C a frame arranged to more up and downwithin and between the side-posts D to the framework A. This verticalsliding frame B projects above the upper side of the main framework A,and at such end it rests upon spiral springs, E, placed over and aboutthe guide-posts F. In the upper cross-rail G, of the frame, B, a seriesof brushes, H, is hold, they being secured at equal and regulardistnucesapart. I, a box or receptacle secured in framework A below thebrushes: IT, and in position for the brushes to dip into the mucilagc orgum contained in it, by simply depressing the said frame 13. P, aplatform or table-arranged to slide on framework A in ahorizontal plane,and ma plane just below that of the brushes H secured in frame B and J atreadle bring to cross-bar K, in lowcrportiou of framework A, and L alever connecting such trcndlc,

through a cord or line M, with the lowerfrailN of the sliding verticalframe B.

In the operation of the machine above described, the paper which is tobe coated or "gummcd" by the brushes in the sliding vertical frame B isfirst secured to or placed upon the table or platform I, when depressingthe sliding frainethrough its treadle sufiiciogtly for its brushes todip into the mucilage or gum in the box I, remove the foot fromthe-treadle, leaving such frame free to rise by the action of thesprings E, when then sliding the table forward under the brushes;by'such brushes the paper then coated or 'gulnmcd in corresponding linesor directions, the pressure of the brushes upon the paper beingsusceptible of regulation by the application of the foot to the workingtreadlcl Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desireto :L-(Hllc by Letters Patent- A machine for coating paper, &c., inwhich are combined a frame carrying a series of brushes, whether one ormore in number, a. platform or table, and a reservoir or receptacle forthe liquid to be applied by the brushes. when all are colnbinedandarranged together so as to operate substantially as described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 13th day ofMarch, 1867.

HENRY E. RILE.
